Primary Complementary Dressings
Uses
- Macerated skin around peri wound
- Lack of adhesion from tapes or dressings
- Skin reactions to wound care products
- Perineal skin protection from urine and faeces
- Peri-stomal skin protection from adhesives
- Peri-wound protection from wound exudate
- Peri-tube and device protection from drainage or bodily fluids
- Skin protection from adhesives

Positives
- Protects the skin from maceration
- Reduces skin reaction due to having a thin layer of skin preparation
Limitations
- If used too much the layers of skin preparation can build up and can ‘flake off’.
Precautions
- Avoid using daily as the film can build up and cause adhesion issues as the layers of cavalon delaminate. This can be avoided by only using every second day or cleaning the areas very well with agitation and soapy water.
